1845 PENNY ( AUNC )

A remarkable 1845 penny graded About Uncirculated, representing outstanding preservation from the earliest years of Victoria's coinage. The obverse presents the Queen's profile with virtually no wear and exceptional striking sharpness, retaining full detail throughout. The reverse Britannia figure is equally pristine, with the seated pose, trident, and shield all rendered with remarkable clarity. Original mint lustre remains prominent across both surfaces, creating an attractive reflective quality. Contact marks are minimal and confined to the fields only. High points display their full definition with no discernible friction. An important acquisition for serious collectors pursuing early Victorian pennies and representing a genuinely scarce date in this superior state of preservation.
